thanks for your suggestion but I guess they do not help. I am running a 
recent svn version of the madwifi module.

In addition Jiri Slaby added support for my card in ath5k in 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=373098 I am running a 
2.6.27-rc3 kernel from 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory/i586/

BOTH drivers do not see this WLAN but they see all the other ones!

any more ideas?
